Five Irish sisters are in great need of a very old, faded carpet or rug about 3m × 4m.

Please contact Tagora if you could lend us one for Dancing at Lughnasa. Despite its age it would be well looked-after and returned in early July with grateful thanks.

We sincerely hope you will be coming to watch Tagora’s production of Dancing at Lughnasa by Brian Friel at the end of June.

But to make it a success we need a few items of furniture and some unusual props – including the flat iron pictured left. We’re sure that someone, somewhere, has just what we’re looking for, so please check the list and see what we’re missing.

The TV station ARTE, based in Strasbourg, is looking for extras (“figurants”) for a series called Xanadu. It’s a story about a family working in the erotica business, but the write-up suggests that it’s for family viewing and that proper decencies will be observed.

Filming is on one or more days between 29 March and 7 July, and participants will be paid. The casting sessions are 18 and 19 March. Detailed information here.
